4:30–5:30 p.m. - Diversity: Creating Transformational Change

The legal profession ranks near the bottom when it comes to the demographic diversity of our workforce, on every measure, including race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Law schools graduate large numbers of highlyqualified women and diverse professionals, however, many of them leave our organizations, are not promoted, or depart the profession entirely. This panel will take a deep dive into the ongoing challenges, and provide realworld solutions for what each of us can do to transform the workplace and our profession.

Session will be submitted for Illinois Diversity and Inclusion credit, and for similar credit in other states as applicable.
